Colchester City and Guilds Photography
1976-1978

Bob Cathmoir

It was very great sadness that I heard Bob passed away on March 27 2015. Bob was an inspirational teacher, who enabled so many of us to realise a career in photography, our shared passion. He managed the impossible, of being a friend to the students while retaining their respect. I'll never forget the parties he organised, the farewell at his house, and having drinks ready for us in the pub after our final exam.

I'd be pleased add to these pages any comments/memories other alumni might have.

Thanks Bob

So sad to hear the news, Bob was great teacher, had a great sense of humour and would always go out of his way to help you.
One of the old school and I will never forget my time at the college with him. A guy with a passion for photography and just a thoroughly nice chap.
